1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Background
In April 2008, the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
(HKSAR) requested MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) to proceed with further
planning and design of the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong
Express Rail Link, which runs from the West Kowloon Terminus (WKT) to the
boundary at Huanggang.
Upon the opening of the WKT of Express Rail Link (XRL) and the development of the
West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD), additional road traffic capacity and network
restructuring would be required through and within the West Kowloon Reclamation
Area (WKRA). Roads namely D1A, D1, Lin Cheung Road – Austin Road West
Underpass and upgrading of Austin Road West would be used to accommodate the
anticipated increase in road traffic.
1.2 Coverage
This is the 67th
monthly Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Report
presenting the EM&A works undertaken during the period from 1 to 31 January 2017
for the Road Works in accordance with the EM&A Manual and the requirement under
Environmental Permit No. EP-366/2009/A which was issued on 18 June 2012.

4. SUMMARY OF EM&A REQUIREMENT
4.1 Air Quality
4.1.1 Air Quality Parameters
In accordance to the EM&A Manual, 24-hour Total Suspended Particulates (TSP)
levels were measured at three (3) air monitoring locations in accordance with the
EM&A Manual. Monitoring was undertaken at each monitoring location once per every
6 days. Information such as date of monitoring, duration, weather condition,
equipment used and monitoring results shall be recorded on the field data sheet
developed for the Project. Monitoring results are summarized in Section 5.
4.1.2 Monitoring Methodology and Calibration
Monitoring was undertaken to establish for 24-hour Total Suspended Particulates (TSP)
at three (3) monitoring locations in the vicinity of the Works Area in West Kowloon.
Monitoring of 24-hour TSP was carried out using a high volume sampler (HVS)
according to Part 50 Chapter 1 Appendix B, Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
of the USEPA.
The sampling procedure follows to that described Part 50 Chapter 1 Appendix B, Title
40 of the Code of Federal Regulations of the USEPA. TSP is sampled by drawing air
through a conditioned, pre-weighed filter paper inside the high volume sampler at a
controlled rate. After 24-hour sampling the filter paper with retained particles shall be
collected and returned to HOKLAS accredited laboratory (ALS Technichem (HK) Pty
Ltd) for drying in a desiccators followed by accurate weighing. TSP levels are
calculated from the ratio of the mass of particulate retained on the filter paper to the
total volume of air sampled.
The flow rate of the high volume sampler with mass flow controller was calibrated
using an orifice calibrator. Initial calibration (five points) was conducted upon
installation and prior to commissioning. Calibration was carried out every six months.
The details of calibration are shown in Table 4-1. The samplers shall be properly
maintained. Prior to dust monitoring commencing, appropriate checks shall be made
to ensure that all equipment and necessary power supply are in good working condition.

4.2 Air-borne Noise
4.2.1 Noise Parameters
In accordance to the EM&A Manual, construction air-borne noise monitoring shall be
conducted to obtain one set of 30-minute measurement at each monitoring station
between 0700 and 1900 hours on normal weekdays at a frequency of once per week
when construction activities are underway. The Leq, L10 and L90 were also recorded at
the specified interval.
4.2.2 Monitoring Methodology and Calibration
As referred to the Technical Memorandum (TM) issued under the NCO, sound level
meters in compliance with the International Electrotechnical Commission Publications
651: 1979 (Type 1) and 804: 1985 (Type 1) specifications shall be used for carrying out
the noise monitoring. Sound Level Meters Model B&K 2250, which complies with
the above-mentioned specifications, were used for construction noise monitoring.
Before and after each series of measurements, the accuracy of the sound level meter
should be checked by using an acoustic calibrator generating a known sound pressure
level at a known frequency. If the difference between the calibration levels obtained
before and after each series of noise measurements is less than 1.0 dB, then the
measurements could be considered as valid.
The sound level meters and calibrator are verified by the certified laboratory or
manufacturer at a regular interval to ensure they perform to the same level of accuracy
as stated in the manufacturer’s specifications. Details of the calibration record are
shown in Table 4-3 and Appendix H.

The minimum pressure recorded at the Hong Kong Observatory was 1011.2 hectopascals at 1519 HKT on 8
January.
The maximum air temperature recorded at the Hong Kong Observatory was 25.5 degrees C at 1321 HKT on 8
January.
The minimum air temperature recorded at the Hong Kong Observatory was 13.6 degrees C at 0741 HKT on 22
January.
The maximum gust peak speed recorded at Waglan Island was 65 kilometres per hour from 080 degrees at
2121 HKT on 30 January.
The maximum 1-minute mean rainfall rate recorded at King's Park was 18 millimetres per hour at 1521 HKT
on 29 January.
# Reduced visibility refers to visibility below 8 kilometres when there is no fog, mist, or precipitation.
- The visibility readings at the Hong Kong International Airport are based on hourly observations by
professional meteorological observers in 2004 and before, and average readings over the 10-minute
period before the clock hour of the visibility meter near the middle of the south runway from 2005
onwards. The change of the data source in 2005 is an improvement of the visibility assessment
using instrumented observations following the international trend.
- Before 10 October 2007, the number of hours of reduced visibility at the Hong Kong International
Airport in 2005 and thereafter displayed in this web page was based on hourly visibility observations
by professional meteorological observers. Since 10 October 2007, the data have been revised using
the average visibility readings over the 10-minute period before the clock hour, as recorded by the
visibility meter near the middle of the south runway.
^ In case the data are not available from Waglan Island, observations of Cheung Chau or other nearby
weather stations will be incorporated in computing the Prevailing Wind Direction and Mean Wind
Speed.
